Hi! I'm a Kansas City-based software architect and entrepreneur with over two decades of experience building impactful products and helping businesses cut through the hype and ship technology that actually works. I love ideating and building, and I bring both technical depth and people skills to everything I do.
Currently, I'm Head of Engineering at SupportNow, where we're helping families get support during major life events. I also work with startups and growing companies through Sunset Labs on architecture, strategy, and the messy realities of getting things built. Previously, I led technology at New Story, a housing non-profit recognized by Fast Company as one of the World's Most Innovative Companies while I was leading the tech, including the work behind the world's first 3D-printed community (Apple even filmed a documentary about it). Before that, I helped launch and taught at The Iron Yard, at the time the largest code school in the world.
